Title: Which Hotel?
Post by: grahame on May 06, 2009, 19:33:23
I'm out of area tonight ... and took these pictures within just a few minutes out of my hotel room. Which place am I at / in / near and for a bonus prize, which hotel!

That's within a frisby's throw, but a leetle upmarket of where I am ((I am p.c. and do NOT throw stones, which in any case are too heavy to employ in "the lighter side")).  VERY good / close guess.

It's actually "the Ibis".  After a start from home at 05:15, I wasn't about to be commuting ... nor going out for a night on the tiles!
